[ron_newman]

Hello, this is Jackie Rossetti with important snow emergency information for Thursday, February 9.

Based on weather forecasts for up to 12 to 14 inches of snow, Somerville is declaring a snow emergency to go into effect at 12 a.m. on Thursday morning, February 9. Residents can begin moving their cars now to the EVEN-numbered side of the street (unless posted signage states otherwise). Those unable to find parking on the correct side of the street may park in any municipal or school parking lot beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Please note, however, that cars must be moved from all lots within two hours of the end of the emergency. Ticketing and towing will begin at 4 a.m. Thursday for cars not moved to the correct side of the street or to a municipal or school lot. Full snow emergency and snow removal policies may be found on the City’s website at www.somervillema.gov/snow.

Again, because this is a #ParkEven snow season, cars must be moved to the EVEN-side of the street (unless posted street signage says otherwise) during emergencies.

Somerville Public Schools, all Somerville Public Libraries, and City offices will be closed on Thursday. Trash pickup will continue as usual.

If you have a non-emergency question or service request, please call 311 (or 617-666-3311 from cellphones or from outside the city). In case of emergency dial 911.
Thank you as always for your cooperation and patience during this winter season.
